OSHKOSH SEX OFFENDER FEDERALLY INDICTED
A five-count federal indictment has been issued alleging a 52-year-old Oshkosh sex offender engaged in receipt of obscene visual depictions of the sexual abuse of children in April of last year.

He faces an additional 10 years on the obscenity charges if federal prosecutors can prove his status as a sex offender. He could also be fined up to $250,000 on each count. The case was investigated by the Oshkosh Police Department with assistance from the United States Office of Probation and Parole in Green Bay.

Illegal fireworks include roman candles, firecrackers, bottle rockets, mortars, and anything that explodes or leaves the ground.

For adults the fine is $125 for the first offense, $225 for the second offense, and $1,000 for a third or subsequent offense within 36 months of conviction.

Loud explosions can also lead to fear and anxiety for many pets.
CONGRESSMAN GROTHMAN ON AGE DISCRIMINATION
Congressman Glenn Grothman recently joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers in reintroducing a bill which would restore critical protections for older workers facing age discrimination. The federal lawmaker from Glenbeulah says workers 50 or older that are trying to reenter the workforce after being laid off face major obstacles in finding new employment. He feels age discrimination is more prevalent than race and sex discrimination. The bill would reinstate the pre-2009 legal standard for age discrimination claims, aligning the burden of proof with the same standards used for claims involving discrimination based on race and national origin. Congressman Grothman says employers tend to let go of older employees to avoid higher insurance costs.
